The world-famous Grand Canyon is only one of Arizona's spectacular
natural features. Arizona encompasses over 90 wilderness areas, more
than 15 national parks and monuments, and the largest national forest in
the country. Expansive mesas, high peaks, and snaking canyons create a
dynamic landscape and reflect a rich geologic and human history.
Backpacking Arizona is the only guide devoted to overnight trips in
the state. You'll discover the maze of side canyons and hidden grottos
in the Grand Canyon's untrammeled backcountry, historic pioneer trails
on the Mogollon Rim, the little-traveled Blue Range, and the legendary
Superstition Mountains in the Sonoran Desert.
